I Saw Right Through Your White T-shirt

We met at that little diner off of Highway 9

You were reading a book.... drinkin’ cherry wine

You thought I fell for your brilliant mind and wit

But baby, it’s time I admit...

I saw right through your white T-shirt

That’s the honest truth, I swear

I tried to act real smooth

But I couldn't unlock my stare

You talked about politics

While I just tried to keep my cool

But baby, those headlights were showing thru

Turned this fool into a fool for you

Now don’t get me wrong, you’re sharp as they come

You know poetry, and how to shoot a gun

But I was a goner from that very first night

When that cotton T-shirt.... fit you so right.

Chorus]

I saw right through your white T-shirt

That’s the honest truth, I swear

I tried to act real smooth

But I couldn't unlock my stare

You talked about politics

While I just tried to keep my cool

But baby, those headlights were showing thru

Turned this fool into a fool for you

Now I’m in deep, you’ve got my name

You’ve got my heart, you’ve got my brain

But it's been two years and I just had to let you know

Why I fell in love with you so long ago.

[Final Chorus

I saw right through your white T-shirt

That’s what caught my eye

Now we’re raising babies

And baking homemade pie

You still quote Shakespeare in your sleep

And girl, I still adore your mind

But I saw right through your white T-shirt

And I knew...someday you'd be mine.

Yeah, I stayed for the smarts...

But I stopped for the view.
